Press Contact
A SAMPLING OF REVIEWS
FOR 'ROOTS MASTER'
"ROOTS MASTER" debuted at No. 12 on the Top
50 Album Chart for January '08 by "Reggae Vibes
with Teacher and Mr. T" on CRM 102.7 FM in the
Netherlands. The CD is also being spun on KCRW (Los
Angeles, CA), KZYX (Mendocino, CA), CAM-FM (UK), CIUT-FM
(Toronto, CA), IRIE-FM (Jamaica) and Internet radio.

"This is the unearthed Holy Grail of reggae music.
Claudius Linton is one of THE great voices of reggae...
and the songs are Reggae Gold." - http://djgreedyg.podomatic.com/
SmallAxe.eu (UK)
"How a major talent like Claudius Linton could
be left on the sidelines is beyond belief! This magnificent
collection of 16 works is a must. The songwriting is
excellent, and with a vocal style that takes in Joe
Higgs, Junior Byles and Joe Hill, he cannot fail to
please... If 'Roots Master' is anything to go by, (Kingman
& Jonah's 'Sign Time') should be the album of the
year — but that would be hard, because it's going to
take a lot to take that title away from this set!"

"'Roots Master' marks the return of legendary singer
Claudius 'Kingman' Linton (who notably hit the top in
1976 with 'Crying Time'), in advance of the release
of an upcoming new album in duet with American indie-rock
musician and producer Ian 'Jonah' Jones. 'Sign Time'
by Kingman & Jonah, out in early 2008, features
an all-star band of legendary Jamaican musicians dubbed
'the Buena Vista Social Club of reggae.'" - http://www.UnitedReggae.com
ReggaeVibes.com (Netherlands)
"'Roots Master' brings this veteran roots singer,
originator of the vocal style popularized by reggae
greats Culture and Burning Spear, the recognition he
truly deserves... It's simply a joy to listen to such
gems from the past. Every fan of reggae who likes to
hear a good voice, conscious lyrics and fine melodies
must hold a copy of this CD!" -- http://www.Reggae-Vibes.com
Dance Crasher Blog (UK)
"A long overdue collection of 70's and 80's sides
by Claudius Linton ... This is worth getting for 'Crying
Time' alone." --http://www.dancecrasher.co.uk/blog

"His music is certainly a lost treasure. I love
it." -- DJ Jah Mex, http://www.shockout.com
Music Is Our Occuption (Blog)
"Have to give it up to Claudius Linton retrospective...
Album of the year, in my opinion. Great old-school reggae
tunes unearthed." - Bob, MIOO Blog
Upsetter.net (Canada)
"Until recently, I had never heard any of Claudius
Linton's music and even his name drew a blank. Sun King's
excellent new collection of Claudius Linton's singles,
'Roots Master,' happily changes that... Linton's big
hit, the majestic 'Crying Time,' leads off the album
and sets the stage for the peppery roots music that
follows. Sounding like he could be Burning Spear's younger
brother, Linton's laid-back and yet urgent vocal style
makes for crucial listening. Serious reggae fans ...
will rejoice that we can hear the work of this appealing
reggae veteran again." - Mick Sleeper, www.upsetter.net
